How a Levittown Bicycle Accident Lawyer from Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. Can Help

Since 1991, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. has provided comprehensive legal representation for our clients, tailoring our services to fit the needs of each person we work with. We understand what it takes to obtain the best possible resolution for you.

Our team offers the following:

Communication

We stay in constant contact with you, providing answers and regular updates about your case. This way, you will:

• Always know what is going on with your case
• Have the knowledge to make the right decisions at each stage of your lawsuit
• Have the ability to ask us questions whenever and wherever they come to mind (we give clients their lawyer’s phone number for easy access)

Demonstrating Fault & Liability

We identify the party who caused your accident and establish the legal elements necessary to prove liability. In most bicycle accident cases, the liable party is the driver who hit you. An investigation will confirm this or bring to light another liable party, such as:

• A car part manufacturer whose faulty product contributed to the accident
• A road maintenance team who did not keep the roadway in good repair
• The government entity responsible for maintaining  the roadway in good repair

Communicating on Your Behalf

We communicate with all parties on your behalf, including other lawyers and the insurance company.

Why is it so important to let a lawyer speak to the other parties for you? The defendant and everyone representing them will want to do everything possible to undermine your case. If you speak to them alone without a thorough understanding of your rights or the tactics they may use to trip you up, they could:

• Deliberately misinterpret your statements to make it seem like the accident was your fault
• Convince you to accept a settlement that is inadequate for your current or projected needs
• Try to claim that your injuries are not as bad as you say they are, or that you were already injured before the accident occurred 

In addition to speaking with all relevant parties, we will fill out the necessary notifications and paperwork that keep your lawsuit moving. This saves you from having to do it yourself and, potentially, making an error that ends your lawsuit prematurely and loses your opportunity to make any monetary recovery for all the harm you have suffered. .

Documenting the Facts

We research your case and obtain evidence to build a strong, persuasive case for you. The earlier you contact us, the more time we have to find and interpret the evidence that could get you an appropriate settlement.

Establishing Value for Your Case

We identify all damages you suffered and provide evidence and information to support the value of your case. The more such evidence you have, the harder it will be for the insurance company to get away with undervaluing your claim.

We work tirelessly to get you the results you deserve. Our initial consultation is always free, and we never collect a fee unless and until you get compensation for your damages.

You have a limited time to take the necessary steps to protect all your rights when injured in a Levittown bicycle accident. Contact Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. as soon as possible to help preserve your right to pursue compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Proving Fault & Liability for Your Levittown Bicycle Accident Case

Our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation of your accident to establish liability for your damages. A successful case requires we prove the following elements:

Duty of Care

The at-fault party had a legal obligation to act reasonably to prevent harm. In car accident cases, this usually refers to a driver’s duty to keep an eye out for obstacles, maintain a safe rate of speed, and pay attention to traffic signs and signals.  This duty of care extends to driving in a way that is safe with respect to pedestrians and bicyclists in or near the roadway. 

Breach of Duty

Instead of acting reasonably, the at-fault party acted with negligence, recklessness, or carelessness, subjecting you to harm.

Causation

The at-fault party’s negligent or wrongful actions caused your bicycle accident.

Damages

You sustained economic, physical, and emotional damages.

To build our case, we obtain evidence such as:

• Police accident reports
• Photos or videos of the accident scene
• Statements from witnesses
• Statements from other involved parties
• Photos of damage to your bicycle and to other vehicles in the accident

To further support your case, we may use the opinions of experts, such as accident reconstruction experts.

• Rehabilitation
• Lost wages and benefits

• Medical records and billing statements
• Income records (tax returns, check stubs)
• Receipts for out-of-pocket expenses

Staying Safe While Riding a Bicycle

Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are several steps bicyclists should take to protect themselves while on the road. These include:

• Wearing a well-fitted helmet
• Avoiding biking when it is dark out—or wearing bright, reflective clothing if you do go out in the dark
• Staying alert at all times
• Keeping your bike in good repair, and not riding a bike that has broken or worn-out parts
• Not drinking or taking drugs before you go out

Such measures will not always prevent accidents: you have no control over the reckless behavior of drivers who do not respect the rights of others. However, they could save your life, which would enable you to go home to your family and hold the careless driver accountable by filing a bicycle accident case against them.
